Here's a morsel of Canadiana-infused trivia: 80 years ago on Wednesday, the Dionne quintuplets were born in North Himsworth (now Callander), Ontario.
The sisters — Annette, Cecile, Yvonne, Marie and Émilie — were first quintuplets known to have survived infancy and became instant celebrities after they came into the world. The hospital in which they lived for the first years of their lives became a massive tourist attraction.
Émilie died of a seizure at age 20, and Marie died in 1970 after developing a blood clot. Yvonne died in 2001, leaving behind Cecile and Annette as the last two of the five remaining.
GO Transit isn't reporting any major delays on its trains and bus lines running into Hamilton.
Ontario Provincial Police aren't reporting any collisions on highways in the Hamilton area.
Also remember the Kenilworth Access is closed in both directions this week. Upbound lanes of the access are closed until early June for rock scaling and cleanup. Both the Sherman Access and Sherman Cut will operate with up and downbound lanes during the construction.
After a toasty Tuesday, Hamilton can expect a somewhat cooler day on Wednesday. Environment Canada says a mix of sun and cloud and a high of 21 C are in store for the city. Areas closer to the lake are expected to see a high of 17 C. Mostly clear skies and a high of 9 C are in the forecast for the overnight period.
Similar conditions are expected for Thursday. A mix of sun and cloud and a high of 20 C are in store for the day. A high of 16 C is expected for areas close to the lake.
Police in Hamilton are looking to speak to anyone with information on a series of sexual assaults and indecent acts that occurred on trails in the city's west end.
And what's the biggest challenge in the enormous task of cleaning up Hamilton Harbour? It's excessive phosphorus, which promotes algae growth and disrupts the food chain in the area, environmentalists say.
Escarpment stair-climbing season is in full swing. Steph Dubik posted an Instagram photo of what it looks like to engage in one of Hamilton's most beloved outdoor pastimes.
No pedals, no brakes and no steering wheel: Would you trade in your wheels for a driver-less car? Google has unveiled a video of a prototype of a car that drives itself. The two-seater drives 40 km/h and navigates all on its own, allowing passengers to do whatever they please while they're being shuttled to their destination.
Google says the cars will be rolling out onto real city streets — for a test drive in Mountain View, California — in the summer. (h/t The Guardian)
